Sophie Haines is a Research Member of Common Room and James Martin Fellow at the Institute for Science, Innovation, and Society (InSIS). Her research interests address the interface of environment, science and society, including infrastructure development, natural resource politics, and the role of anticipation and uncertainty in decision-making in the UK and Belize. She is currently collaborating with colleagues in the Physics department, as part of an Oxford Martin School project about the usability of weather/climate forecasts for resource stewardship.
